Hello, recently I've been having issues with my computer. I usually use it to play games and haven't had problems with it for the four years since I've had it. I have a Samsung SSD, 32GB of Corsair vengeance ram, RTX 3080, I9 9900k, and an RM850 Corsair power supply. All these parts are connected to an MSI z390-a pro motherboard.
Now the first issue I noticed with my computer was that occasionally, regardless of what I was doing, the screen I was using would show artefact for a split second. I thought nothing of it, but after a few days, my taskbar and anything windows related froze. I waited and decided to turn my computer off. Then when I powered it back on, my computer displayed a black screen. I turned it off and on again to activate windows repair, but when I reached windows repair and left it running for 4 hours, it had made no progress in repairing the issue.
I decided to do a fresh install of windows 10 from a USB stick as I couldn't reinstall it using my OS on the computer. This fixed the issue, at the loss of all my data. Then a day later, my screen started to flicker again. Bare in mind after reinstalling windows, I had already done several full virus scans, including a few boot scans, which found no malware.
I then ran the commands in the command prompt "SFC /SCANNOW" (I also ran "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth"), and it said my some of my windows files had been corrupted but had been restored. I kept rerunning the command daily, and every now and then, the SFC scan would say my windows files had been corrupted.
I decided to buy some new ram, but the same problems are emerging again. Last night I went to sleep, and when I woke up, I noticed I had left my pc on. Now it won't even load a boot menu or allow me to repair the computer. The PC's on, but I'm getting a black screen and no mouse cursor either.
Has anyone got a clue as to what the issue is here?
